It's fine, as far as grammar and sounding natural. However, the term "colored people" is an old one that dates to the pre-Civil Rights era, and is associated with racism. You are likely to get poor reactions to it. "Blacks" is the term that I use, if I can't avoid describing someone with dark skin by their skin color.
